I bought CJ a creme brûlée torch and I still shake my head at myself. But it means if I buy the ingredients, he will make creme brûlée.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I don't have a creme brulee torch. But I also don't make creme brulee. Not sure which direction is the causal relatioship, though.

What kind of mint is in mojitos? I mean, if I were to grow it myself? It's after Labor Day, almost, so there's a mojito set at the thrift store, and I have spearmint from the farmer's market.

What is a mojito set?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

They don't need to be related. I use my torch to sear chicken skin, for instance.

I would think whatever mint you have is the right mint for a mojito.

Mmm, creme brûlée. Might have to make one of those tonight.

I think the most commonly sold mint would be spearmint, which is what I would use for a mojito. I heard some people prefer peppermint. Chocolate mint might be interesting.

Why didn't anyone tell me there was a mild gay pic scandal related to Teen Wolf?

Apparently Colton Hayne's lawyer has been going around telling sites to take down his personal pictures, but the pics they're talking about are from a photoshoot printed in XY Magazine. That is the sort of thing I need to be kept informed about. It's, like, in the rules.

Sorry ita, I somehow assumed you'd already have known about that. There's debate whether it's an overzealous lawyer/manager hoping people won't realize that he doesn't actually have authority to make those demands, or if it's MTV's doing like trying to bury the fact that one of its Real World participants spent a couple of years working for a porn webcam site.

Colton himself apparently has no trouble being filmed with male cast members macking on him, and has spoken supportively about his brother's same-sex marriage in interviews, so I doubt the uptightness is originating with him.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Victory! I went to Home Depot and bought a length of plastic rug protector for abut $6, and then went to Target and bought everything else. I guess the other Target is easier to get to, depending on bus schedules, but this one was not bad.

What kind of mint is in mojitos?

I like organic spearmint best.

Matt, I avoid Teen Wolf fandom. It was easier before my dash got infected between the first and second seasons, where it was just something I liked. But S2 made me like it so much more, and the same thing happened to my dash...along with seasoned fandom veterans acting like 12 year olds. So I'm no doubt behind on a huge amount of stuff most fans know. Just stitching it all together.

Jeff Davis is gay, and since he's apparently on record as making the show post-issues, so if this is show-related, it's disappointing. But I'm pretty sure MTV doesn't care about issues and being post them.

Unrelatedly, I can't work out if the strange burning taste when I brush my teeth is the electric toothbrush giving up the ghost or it's the toothpaste switch. Tea tree and cinnammon is weird, but mint is a random migraine trigger, so I'm trying to find something not sweet and not minty.
